How It Works

Three steps. No sales calls. No site visit.

01

Complete the Questionnaire

Answer 15–20 questions about your process, part specs, cycle time, labor costs, and constraints. Takes about 10–15 minutes.

02

Get your feasibility report

Receive a professional PDF report with your automation suitability score, robot specifications, equipment recommendations, ROI analysis, and next steps. Delivered automatically after payment.

03

Use it with your team or vendors

Walk into integrator meetings with a structured scope already in hand. The report is formatted for management review and vendor handoff — not just for internal reference.

What's In the Report

A document your team and vendors can actually use.

Feasibility Score

0-100 automation suitability score with a breakdown of which factors support automation and which create risk. Transparent — every score factor is explained.

Preliminary System Concept

Robot type recommendation, layout assumptions, and automation architecture. Covers whether a standard robot, collaborative robot, or custom cell is the right fit.

Equipment Specifications

Payload, reach, speed, and precision requirements for the robot. Plus gripper, vision system, sensors, and tooling recommendations tailored to your parts.

Cost & ROI Analysis

Estimated project cost range, annual savings, ROI percentage, and payback period. Built on realistic assumptions — not optimistic sales figures.

Risks & Assumptions

Every assumption is labeled and justified. Unknown answers are flagged as requiring site verification — not hidden behind defaults. You know exactly what needs a site visit.

Next Steps

A structured path from feasibility to implementation — what to verify on-site, how to structure the RFQ, and what information to request from integrators.

Social Proof

Built for shops that can't afford to guess.

"Finally, a way to evaluate automation without committing to an integrator sales process. We used this before talking to three different vendors — it saved us months of back-and-forth."
Mike Kowalski
Plant Manager, Midwest CNC Shop
"I was skeptical that an online tool could give us anything useful. The feasibility score and equipment specs were close enough to what an integrator quoted us — at a fraction of the cost."
Sarah Vellacott
VP Operations, Contract Manufacturer
"We used the $295 report to justify a capital request to our CFO. The ROI analysis and cost range made it a straightforward conversation."
James Oduya
Automation Engineer, Tier-2 Automotive Supplier

Common Questions

Answered before you ask.

Is this a real engineering analysis? +
It produces a structured feasibility analysis based on your inputs — the same logic used in professional engineering evaluations. It's preliminary planning, not final design. Every assumption is labeled in the report so you know exactly what needs a site visit.
How long does the report take? +
The questionnaire takes 10–15 minutes. Your feasibility report is generated automatically and delivered immediately after payment. Most reports are ready within minutes.
What if my process isn't a good fit for automation? +
The report will tell you. If your feasibility score is low, you'll see exactly which factors are working against you — and whether there's a path to improve them. No point paying for an integrator quote if the numbers don't work.
Can I share this with my team or vendors? +
Yes. The report is formatted as a professional PDF — suitable for management review, finance presentations, and vendor handoff. The $795 RFQ package is specifically structured for procurement.
Is my information kept confidential? +
Yes. We don't sell your data, share your process details with integrators, or contact you without your consent. Your questionnaire data is stored securely and only used to generate your report.
What if I need help interpreting the report? +
Every report includes a plain-language summary section and a "What This Means" breakdown for non-technical stakeholders. If you have specific questions, contact us before making capital decisions.

⚠
What this report is — and what it isn't. AutomationScope AI reports are preliminary planning tools. They do not replace final engineering design, site-specific safety certification, or performance guarantees. They help you decide whether to explore automation further and give you structured information to take into integrator conversations. All assumptions are labeled in the report. Answers marked "unknown" indicate areas requiring on-site assessment before final decisions are made.
